IN RE: City Council Order I79 -P
Relocation of Grandview Avenue Extension
Gentlemen:
Please be advised that the City Planning Board has again
thoroughly investigated the new location of Grandview Avenue Ex-
tension, and would respectfully recommend City Council's approval
of the new location,
The [Insects decision was based upon the following:
I. A better and safer Intersection at Broadway: traffic
flow would be Improved by having a standard four-way
Intersection,
2. Sight distance is satisfactory at the new location,
and would be Improved by the proposed reconstroction
of Broadway,
3. The old location would be costly to construct because
of the difficult topographical condition. The new
location would be less expensive to construct because
It Is 50 feet shorter and has a much better topographi-
cal condition,
The Honorable City Council -2- - August 21, 1962
C.C.O. I79 -P
4. The new location did not materially reduce the
size of the school parking lot as there were
still accommodations for about 460 cars --a number
that would adequately serve the needs of the school
for nearly all occaslonss
S. It Is estimated that traffic flow on Grandview Avenue
will not be heavy, and this will not present any
extraordinary traffic hazard for pedestrians.
Respectfully submitted,

IN RE: City Council Order 170-P
Laying out of New Highway -
Essex Street to Broadway
Sirs:
Please be advised that the City Planning Board has given
careful consideration to the above matter, and would respectfully
recommend to the City Council the following:
i. That the new location be approved,
2. Thai the land south of the new route be
made into additional parking spaces.
The Board's opinion was based on the following:
1. That such a relocation would make a better
Intersection of Broadway because of being
directly opposite Grandview Avenue,
2. A more economic use
could be made of this
land reserved for parking spaces because
of beingable to fully develop the land to
the south of this route.
Respectfully submitted,
